Love and Other Poems

"Everyone who lives in New York (or yearns for it, as I do) should have a copy of this book on their nightstand at all times. It’s a long love poem to the city, but also – for a city where one can easily get dialed down to just a number – it’s full of poems about holding on to hope. These poems aren’t cheesy; it’s actually Alex Dimitrov’s vivid vulnerability and depictions of loneliness that make the reader feel less alone. He leans into the feeling and embraces it. Turn to any page and Dimitrov will show you that love will find you. And if it doesn’t, New York City will always be right there."
